#2302 of 11964 Vin decoding for Isuzu Trooper by DReynolds

Oct 08, 2001 (12:17 pm)

Can anyone help me? I'm looking at buying a 1995 Isuzu Trooper. I thought it was an LS, but it's not badged at all, and I have no way of knowing otherwise except for maybe the Vin number. The owner doesn't know. According to edmunds there is a difference in price between the S and the LS, and I want to make sure I make an offer that is appropriate for the model. The Vin is JACDJ58V9S7909777.
Any help would be appreciated.

Go to the Isuzu Trooper Owners Guild, www.itog.com. There is a VIN decoder there, possibly under the ITOG University link.
 
Also, the Isuzu customer service folks will help you with this information as well. Grab the toll-free number from the Isuzu web site (www.isuzu.com).

#2305 of 11964 PING and things by ryanendres

About the dealership search thing first. Yes a dealer will do a search for you. This is what mine did, but the dealer won't tell you where the truck is, knowing this info you can just go to the other dealer, and say, "Hey I'm looking to buy that truck, here is my quote from dealer X, can you beat it?" And without a doubt the 2nd dealer will. That is why I went to the top first.
 
As for PING....
 
I have/Had it (and a handfull of others here too) ... a possible fix is to try to run some Concentrated Chevron Techron (NOT the Proguard stuff, the Concentrated stuff) make sure you get the 20oz bottle. And try it with 2 tanks of gas in a row (one bottle of Chervon each time). That seems to work for most folks.

#2307 of 11964 I GOT it! 2001 Trooper S 4x4 by katgre

Oct 08, 2001 (6:46 pm)

Hey gang, I picked up my New Trooper on Saturday. I'm sooooooo happy. I love it! I thought it was $19,500 ended up being $19,995. It was listed as 22,995. with 7000 miles. I still think I got a deal. I picked the truck up in Dayton,OH, I live in Indianapolis which is 120 miles away. Excellent drive home. Here's a few questions I have.
 
1-I put new batteries in my second remote because I didn't realize it didn't work before I left the dealership (purchased from Honda Dealership) New batteries still didn't work. Someone said I need to program the 2nd remote is this true?
 
2-What type of oil should I use?
3-I need a cd-changer any suggestions? Thinking about bidding on a 6 disc changer(Pioneer) ebay. Does the factory system support a Pioneer changer?
4-The power button any suggestion about when to use it? I drove back from Ohio with the button on.
 
So far I'm riding high! Everyone agrees that the Trooper rides like a car.
 
Also, I had a great experience with RoadLoans.com very helpful.

#2309 of 11964 Remote by ryanendres

I took this from the 4x4wire.com

Here are the programming instructions for '98-02' Isuzu Rodeo and Troopers...
Isuzu Rodeo and Trooper (with factory keyless entry)
Instructions for programming
 
1. Get in car and make sure all doors are unlocked.
2. Open drivers door and leave open.
3. Put key in ignition.
4. Turn key to on position(dash lights on, but do not start) and back to off position 3 times in 5 seconds or less. (you must turn the key very fast)
5. Close and open drivers door 2 times in 5 seconds or less.
6. Turn key to on position and back to off position 5 times in 5 seconds or less. (turn key very fast)
7. Close and open drivers door doors should lock and unlock twice after this happens push the lock or unlock button on the remote, doors will lock and unlock. Push the lock or unlock button a second time and doors will lock and unlock again. You are finished!
 
The above sequence erases all previous codes and adds the new code as #1. If you are adding a second remote, you should follow the same sequence with the exception of step 6; instead of turning the key to the on position and back to the off position 5 times in 5 seconds or less, do it 3 times in 5 seconds or less and then continue to step 7.
 
***Remember to turn the key to the on and off position very fast.  

As for the cd changer here is a link to the CD interface cable.

http://shop.store.yahoo.com/audio-etc/isu-98-ecl.html

This will work ONLY with Eclipse products, and your current deck needs to have the CD changer controls ... you could buy the factory indash CD for about 100-150 used from http://www.car-parts.com and then hook it up into your current deck, again as long as it has the changer controls.

#2311 of 11964 Vin decoder... by DReynolds

bluedevils: Thanks for the info from you on this subject. The vin didn't have the info I was looking for, but I've compared the features on the vehicle that I may purchase, with that of the standard equipment for the LS and the options. I'm pretty comfortable that it's an LS model. Now the negotiations will begin. I'll keep you all posted.
